Effect of β3-adrenergic receptor agonists on [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in brown adipose tissues in positron emission tomography images of elderly patients

EJNMMI Research
Background Brown adipose tissues (BAT) are highly vascularized, mitochondria-rich tissues involved in thermogenesis. Physiological [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) uptake in BAT can be influenced by several factors, including the use of medications ...

Suppressive Effects of Bee Venom Acupuncture on Paclitaxel-Induced Neuropathic Pain in Rats: Mediation by Spinal α2-Adrenergic Receptor

Toxins, 2017
Paclitaxel, a chemotherapy drug for solid tumors, induces peripheral painful neuropathy. Bee venom acupuncture (BVA) has been reported to have potent analgesic effects, which are known to be mediated by activation of spinal α-adrenergic receptor.

Adrenergic β2 receptor activation stimulates anti-inflammatory properties of dendritic cells in vitro.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Vagal nerve efferent activation has been shown to ameliorate the course of many inflammatory disease states. This neuro-modulatory effect has been suggested to rest on acetylcholine receptor (AChR) activation on tissue macrophages or dendritic cells (DCs)

Estrogen-Related Receptors Mediate the Adaptive Response of Brown Adipose Tissue to Adrenergic Stimulation

iScience, 2018
Summary: Adrenergic stimulation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) induces acute and long-term responses. The acute adrenergic response activates thermogenesis by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation and enabling increased substrate oxidation.

Adverse Effects on β‐Adrenergic Receptor Coupling: Ischemic Postconditioning Failed to Preserve Long‐Term Cardiac Function

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundIschemic preconditioning (IPC) and ischemic postconditioning (IPoC) are currently among the most efficient strategies protecting the heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the effect of IPC and IPoC on functional recovery following

How should anti-hypertensive medications be adjusted before screening for primary aldosteronism?

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association
Anti-hypertensive medications may affect plasma renin activity and/or plasma aldosterone concentration, misleading the interpretation of the aldosterone-to-renin ratio when screening for primary aldosteronism. The Task Force of Taiwan PA recommends that,

Adrenergic pathways in glycine-mediated feeding behavior: Evidence from layer chickens

Poultry Science
Glycinergic and adrenergic systems are integral to the regulation of meal consumption in avian species; however, the interactions between these systems have not been previously documented. This investigation was conducted to explore the interplay between
